This match is a repeat of the 1999 FA Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle, which Sir Alex Ferguson’s treble-winning side won 2-0 with goals from Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes.
That was the Magpies’ last appearance in a cup final, and you have to go back to 1969 for when they last won a major trophy – the Inter Cities’ Fairs Cup. Can they end that drought in their first full season under Eddie Howe? Manchester United, meanwhile, are gunning for the first silverware of Erik ten Hag’s tenure. They can point to a decent record against the Magpies, which sees them unbeaten in the last six meetings (W4 D2).
